The system partition is written to whenever you flash a rom. I would suggest following the root procedures again, as this should rewrite the system partition. I would wait for some second opinions though.
Edit: I think maybe the root thing was just the rooted kernel. Someone will probably post a Backup file soon and you may have luck with that.
The thing is that it is not booting at all and the only thing that the computer recognizes is a QHSUSB_DLOAD something.
Have you tried to use odin yet? Just to see if it shows a connection? I don't know if you know this way to get to download mode, but hold vol up + vol down when odin is running on your computer and your phone is connected to the computer. It should automagically go to download mode...unless you deleted it when you formatted system.
I tried that. The only thing I did before restarting was "format /system" I do not know if that has something to do with the download mode
I found this for the driver...

I don't know what to do with it from there though.
Did you flash clockwork recovery yet?

Don't panic it can be fixed

How? I flashed. that is how I got to the format /system option. Any suggestion. The driver did not help and I am running out of ideas
If you flashed cwr, with the phone off hold volume up and down at the same time and press power. It should boot to a blue cwr screen. If that happens your in great shape. then all you need is a backup image. which I can upload after work

No worries your phone is not dead, you need to use Odin to reflash. Follow the instructions or google it on youtube how to get in download mode and use odin. Search Samsung Galaxy S the procedure is same.

He can't get into download mode...
You can always get in download mode there are different ways. He has a soft brick that can be fixed. Try pulling battery then plug it in then hold both volume buttons with TWO fingers and turn phone on and when Samsung logo pops up release power button but still hold on the volume buttons then download mode will kick in.

If he holds volume up and down with the power off and plugs in USB in his computer it does nothing?

That's what he said. I already gave him these instructions.
Sometimes on my Vibrant I had to pull out the SIM and sdcard, so I guess that's another option.
I might need to be in front of my computer to help then not driving 80mph on the highway. Lol
But i'm pretty sure it can be fixed

Thanks all for your help. The phone is not responding to anything button related at least not all what i tried (And you guys mentioned).
Here's something else to try, since I don't think my instructions were clear.
Disconnect your phone from the computer.
Take out SIM.
Start Odin on the computer.
PRESS AND HOLD vol up and vol down.
WHILE HOLDING connect the phone to the computer.
This SHOULD do something, like show a yellow com port connection in Odin.
Disclaimer: I'm not yelling at you, just trying to highlight the important parts. I don't know your level of experience either, so if you feel I'm talking down to you, DON"T!
JAJAJAJA. not a problem. It shows the yellow port connection text box. but is not connecting to the phone it is waiting forever on SetupConnection. However, nothing is happening in the phone. the screen is still black.

again not to make you sound dumb but you have:
ODIN V1.8.4?
Samsung Kies installed but closed?
Pulled battery out?
put battery back in?
run odin v1.8.4?
hold both Vol up + Vol down, and plug the USB cable in?
Do you have another computer and usb cable you can try if the above does not get you into download mode. it could be a driver issue on your computer
I am making a backup now for you to restore if we can get you in download mode to flash cwr

It is becoming ridiculous how much we have of such threads lately. Wonder what fix they expect from us since they do not even bother searching which device that rom is for...
First try to get into a download mode.
If you couldn't try the following methods that used to work with Vibrant:
1. Pull the battery out
2. Hold both vol up & down
3. Hold Power button
4. Connect your usb to a PC and phone
5. Insert your battery
6. Flash any rom

I sent it to mobiletechvideo, they repair hard brick and it costs $60 a lot cheaper then buying a new phone. This wasn't the first time I ever flashed a ROM but the stupid mistake was not doing a research. I assumed that ROM is for AT&t version. I have read in this forums that as long as you don't flash At&t modem you should be fine but I know I grabbed the wrong ROM (At&t Galaxy S II). Well you learn from your mistake I finally experienced how it feels to have hard bricked phone....lol

Hiii please give me solution for Lava iris 60
Problem after flashing custom ROM phone not to be start
? By mistake install AIS lava iris 60 costom Rom file and after not to be start phone .... Totally are ded ... Please give me solution
Okay so after I have used Titanium back up to back up my contacts, then I went to ROM Manager to try to boot into recovery that way.
But after the phone turns off it does not turn on, nothing. I've tried to boot into recovery and downloading mode nothing works. Pull out the battery would not work either. Please help me!
First off, why back up contact when you can sync with Google?
Next, try power -> home button -> volume up for 2 seconds. That will get you into cwm , assuming your rooted. Or try the same combo but volume down. That will get you into download mode.
I can't see how backing up could bork your phone. Unless you did something else

Do yourself a favor and don't liste to that friend anymore. There are a lot of helpful guides on this forum to help you achieve whatever you seek to do.
As said above, you've bricked your phone.
Ok, so I had my Samsung Galaxy Gio rooted for a loong time, no problems at all...I decided to download the app called "ROM manager"...that was the most stupid idea ever... I chose a model, the first one on the list, wich I cant remember the name, and I selected, after it downloaded the Clockworkmod, I pressed To "Fix" something, auto app shuts, etc... Then it asked me to restart my device, as soon as I did that, my phone "died/bricked"
I CANT START IT IN RECOVERY/DOWNLOAD MODE
I already tried takinf out the battery and replacing it, I kinda tried the Odin process, but imma noob at these things...
I guess my phone is hard-bricked...
If there is no solution but sending it to Samsung, will they charge anything for the repair (im on portugal...)
PLEASE, SOMEONE SAVE MY PHONE'S SOUL!
too bad, theres nothing you can do..
you just need a bit of luck that samsung will fix it for free, I think they need to replace the motherboard
It happened to me this....they fixed it for free to me.Good luck with u too

thank you for answering, I was just reading about how to do it right,
Maybe you can try this :
1.take off your battery,press volume down+power button.. (make sure your battery are not empty)
2.While you keep press the two button,insert the battery and press your home button..
3.Hope that it will enter download mode,then flash it through odin..
I've test it yesterday,i fix my friend's phone that have the same problem (his phone bricked by rom manager too) and it was success..

hi, i was reading about bootloader that it has to be unlocked in order to flash custom roms
i did download ez unlock from play store and did unlocked the boot loader but it was not recognizing at status even after the operation (status unknown)
i have i747M rooted
now i powered off the phone wanting to save the rom(again) thru CWM but it wont boot for nothing even pluged charger is not recognized
i have saved once the image so i have it on my sd
what can i do to get my phone back to life?
thanks for your help
Well, if you would have read anything, ez unlock is for verizon only. So, unless your phone shows any sign of life, you need to jtag.

If you can't boot into download or restore, and if odin doesn't recognize, I can almost guarantee you that you have hard-bricked your s3. Your bootloader is messed up, and can only be restored through JTAG. For you to de-brick it yourself, you'll need to shell out a couple hundred dollars to buy the equipment, or you can send it to someone who offers the service for a smaller fee. If you need some suggestions, pm me.

I don't see how you don't understand after all the replies... If your phone shows NO sign of life, (I.e. no download mode) You MUST either JTAG or wait for the SD/Hardware hack one of the Devs is working on.

I'm assuming you have but doesn't get explicitly stated. But you have tried pulling batter. Putting back in then hold down the volume down key, home button and power but then after 2 seconds phone should vibrate so u let go of power button but continue holding the other 2.
Or the same method but holding power up.
To get you into either download or recovery mode.
